<p><a name="fc56_pppd"></a><strong>A2.1 Fedora 5 and 6</strong><br>

<p>FC5 comes with ppp-2.4.3-6.2.1 and FC6 has ppp-2.4.4-1. MPPE support is already enabled. If ppp is not installed, use<em> yum</em> to install it.</p>

<p><strong><a name="f4_pppd"></a>A2.2 Fedora Core 4</strong><br>
(last update: 6 March 2006) </p>
<p>FC4 comes with ppp-2.4.2-7. It is required to be upgraded to a patched version which supports MPPE. The patched version can be found in <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44827">here</a>. Download the rpm for FC4. At the time of writing, the latest version is 2.4.3-5. Get the FC4 rpm: </p>
<blockquote>
  <pre>ppp-2.4.3-5.fc4.i386.rpm</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Upgrade the ppp with the downloaded version:</p>
<blockquote>
  <pre>[root@pptp ~]# rpm -Uvh ppp-2.4.3-5.fc4.i386.rpm</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: If you are a Gentoo user, and are using kernel v2.6.15, the ppp-2.4.3-5 does NOT work because of MPPC. You may find more information from <a href="http://kernel-bugs.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5827">here</a>.</p>
